PUBLIC HEARING 96-02-01 A public hearing regarding the City of East Wenatchee's position on the Urban Growth Area and land use designations for the Greater East Wenatchee Planning Area. City Planner Campbell said the issues are the Urban Growth Boundary and land use designations. He said the lack of compliance from Douglas County is keeping the City from applying for grants and loans. Phil Kushlan, Kushlan & Associates, said to plan for the City's future, the City Council has to ' make choices to set the direction of urban development for the next twenty years. He said some of the issues were capital facilities planning and infrastructure concerns. City Attorney Zimmerman said the East Wenatchee had three options: • The first option would be to do nothing and not respond to the recent changes to the plan, go forward with our planning under the Growth Management Act, complete a plan that meets our goals and brings the City into compliance. • The second option would be to argue the land use designations of the draft plan through litigation and other means. • The third option would be to create a new land use plan representing the City's interests and vision and to reconsider the resource land issues, our City center planning issues, utility impacts, the Inter Urban Growth Boundary location, the citizen comments and desires, the population projections and land base; and the commercial and other land use designations. All of these relate to the primary interests of the City of East Wenatchee. 021 OFS •salon agl of 23M Il!M J.L3 ayl agsssaw ayl st sttl l uaipltgo mo;o asogl puu santl mo;o Atpmb ayi;o pus oftpay mo;o lonuoo pool Inge st iI •sluaunsn(pg annsnstutwpe puu saoueug ;o Tanwu u lsnf lou st uotlsxauue atg luT paoutnuoo st JL3 aril `9IIEuT3 pud •isaialut otlgnd atg ut aq of It sanatloq it osnuooq uotiuxouue otp a3ppapun of siuem ltounoo aT$ isg.L •lsatalut otlgnd agl;o antlioddns muuuw t, m watp tgtm leap of paasdoad st pus uotluxouue aql ;o saouanbosuoo ayi spuslsjapun f4t0 otp Xlantsnlouoo alsnsuowap santpsluosaidaa s,/4!D ayi `966I `8 gamW Sq pogpou oq mtu yotgm `ptsog matna�I ,Saupunog aql of uotltlod agi;o uotiuivasatd ayl u[ psyZ loop of scold s,f4!D ogp;o 4t1tgtseaj ogl;o put, uotiuxouus otp;o saouanbosuoo antiunstutuipu pus letoueug oql ;o otlgnd atg uuo;ut ltounoo otp ietll • L,Slaniloe Aq ueaw om op irgAA •uoppad ayi ut paugap sate uotiuxoutm ayi giniosq XraAg3¢ Xq uoilpad ayi Suluoddns `966I `Z iagoloo 3o uotlnlosoi sit uutguai of ltounoo aql sisanbw DZg ags •uop pod a p ut Lmm atg ut Sluo palsaialut st `uotpt,xatnte ayi uo aion antlsuuWu ue io; SutuStudumo ut `DZg aril tanrd ayi of paanS altl`I Swop: Alggnoi pue siORH lag3ue3 opnlout op tgnos pue paumissa `oSpug splo ayl;o gljou lsnf wog Sumum -- uotinod agl ut pougap ease ayi of poutensuoo air `siauoppod ayp;o osoyp puu `sisaialut coo •VDfl aql ;o sauepunoq ayi gutguego;o ansst ayl yitm pasn;uoo aq = pinoys uotlsxauue aqi ;o ansst ayi ieyl sgutlloD aoAuyq Xq luawalsps ayi asiopuo Xlguons aM •uotluxauue ayi zone; watp;o iaqumu o2lml ,Sian V •onsst ayi uo apon of iuem ,Says -- uotpgad ayp pauSts oym sialon Z I L agl 3o 31uyaq uo gupleads oslu tau I `asuos lean u ul •,iltg aql put, sauupunog ua.td gjmouJ uegifl luanno ayi uoamlaq eats agl;o uonuxauus ayl uo aion u .1o; Sutlluo uotltlad oql paiutltut imp dnolg styl sem iI •uu;)Ig It,H `uosuyof diNS `uaslo xa;tuuaf `uoll0 xot(I `asm l qog `.oslu waq On saagwaw iatllo •AMaaoaS mo st gutlleg aStt,d `.tamsemtZ coo pun neyo-oo iayio mo st apptalq laW •uuuutug3-03 a we I yolym;o uotltluoZ) .taypoSol aptslseg ag13o 3teyaq uo )leads o1 iyStuoi waq um I :smollo; su •piooai ayl olut .taual t, psai •gN paanS T861 1117 `pnonS Ipg •w•d OZ:L iu Sut aH otlgnd ay pouado sgutlloJ ioXvW 9661 •5A*dVn'dS3d S3inNIW'IIJNn0393HJ.LVN3M.LSV3dO UIJ CITY OF EAST WENATCHEE COUNCIL MINUTES FEBRUARY 5, 1996 1 1 I would like to submit a copy of these remarks to the Council for inclusion in the record of this meeting.
